About Dr Peter Swoboda

Dr Peter Swoboda is a Consultant Cardiologist with a specialist interest in cardiovascular imaging, currently practising across Harrogate and Leeds.

He was later awarded a PhD from the University of Leeds in 2016.

Alongside his clinical role, Dr Swoboda is an Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, where he leads a research group focused on advanced cardiac MRI technologies.

He also leads sports cardiology research, with a particular focus on understanding abnormal heart rhythms in athletes.

Dr Swoboda has extensive experience in assessing and treating athletes of all levels, particularly those with existing or newly identified cardiac conditions. His clinical expertise includes the evaluation of symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, and palpitations, as well as the management of atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and coronary artery disease.
